Contentions with Joy Donella McLean

Veni, vedi, vici. Donella has a strange relationship with joy. In these confessional poems, she reveals her greatest happiness found in family, friends, sunshine, her daughter and mother, and music. Using the occasional 90's alternative scene allusion, she takes the reader on a journey through her special moments and most difficult doubts as a growing woman. These poems reflect the inner struggle many of us face together yet do not have the voice to express. Donella McLean will be your guide in this journey of confession, inner resolve, humor, and imagination.
